Srinagar: Our City, Our Nature, Our Future

Aptly titled “paradise on the earth”, Srinagar is a city bursting with natural beauty. Surrounded by the Himalayas, in the Kashmir Valley, the city is crisscrossed by a complex network of natural ecosystems in the region including streams, lakes, rivers, wetlands and forests. The Jhelum and the Dal lake are the backbones of the local ecology. Dotted by Mughal gardens which boost the local biodiversity, Srinagar is a tourism haven.
